Top 5 Job Skills We Forget Are Transferrable

5. Likability: This one swings both ways. There was a time in life where you were well liked and vice versa. Think of environments that emulate that atmosphere. Seek them out.

4. Professional Relationship Building: The people you work with tell a lot about who you are. If you work with the disadvantaged but report to the Board this fact demonstrates your professionalism. There is always a way to interpret the people around which you surround yourself.

3. Quantitative Analysis: Who doesn’t like numbers? They simplify things. If you can look at your job and explain what you do through numbers, you can teach other people how to do it

and prove your value.

2. Accountability: If you did something at work, even if you were part of a team, you did it. So don’t be shy, say so! Of course this works when you screw things up too, but everything can be turned into a positive.

1. Level of Experience: If you are a manager at one job, you can be a director at another. Even if you change industries, you can work your way up again…and next time this can be done even faster, because of experience! The very fact means the new employer can have someone under them who makes it look like they are a training superstar. A win-win for everyone.
